	In 1974, Gibson Southern was originally a member of the ] (PAC). In 1980, the school left the PAC to form the ] with 7 former ] schools, some of which were also once members of the PAC. In 1994, Gibson Southern left the Big 8 to rejoin the PAC. Another Big 8 and former member, Tell City, returned a decade later.

The softball team has followed up these successes with new achievements in the 2016 season, becoming the only public school known to have won sectionals and regionals in 3 separate classes; AA, AAA, and now, AAAA, winning against schools at least twice their size.

	]
	Historically Gibson Southern's school colors have been Maroon, Gold, and White. However starting around 2010, some teams have occasionally or even regularly, used Black in place of the White, resulting in a Maroon-Gold-Black color scheme, typically seen during games where their team is the visitor team. Some have even used all four colors. These have included the boys and girls' basketball, volleyball, baseball, and softball teams over the years. This has been seen as a throwback to two of the three schools that formed Gibson Southern, Fort Branch and Owensville, both of whom had black and gold as their colors.

Gibson Southern High School received the Indiana Four Star School Award for seven consecutive years.

Athletics

In 1974, Gibson Southern was originally a member of the Pocket Athletic Conference (PAC). In 1980, the school left the PAC to form the Big 8 Conference with 7 former Southern Indiana Athletic Conference schools, some of which were also once members of the PAC. In 1994, Gibson Southern left the Big 8 to rejoin the PAC. In 2020 the Pocket Athletic Conference expanded with Boonville, Mount Vernon, Princeton and Washington joining Forest Park, Gibson Southern, Heritage Hills, North Posey, Pike Central, Southridge, South Spencer, Tecumseh, and Tell City to make it a 13-team conference.

The school won state championships in softball in 2003, 2005 in class AA and 2015 in AAA, splitting back to back appearances (2014 and 2015) with Leo, and as a result played in class AAAA in the sport from 2016 to 2021.

In 2021, the football team won their first state championship in school (and Gibson County) history, defeating Indianapolis Brebeuf.

In 2024, the girls basketball team won their first state title in school history, defeating Norwell. This comes 22 years after finishing runner up in 2002 to Fort Wayne Bishop Luers and with the win, Gibson Southern also became the last of the county's three high schools to win a state title in girl's basketball after Princeton in 2015 and Wood Memorial in 2017. But unlike the other two, the Lady Titans will now have to compete in AAAA in girls' basketball for the next two years, provided they do not continue to make deep runs into the tournament, like the softball team did. This was a result of the state title, coupled with back-to-back appearances at semi-state.
